Description: After the fall of France in 1940, Germany attempted to strangle Britian into submission by attacking the Atlantic Convoys, which brought much-needed supplies and war materiel from the USA and Canada. While the U-boats attacked from beneath the seas, the Germans converted a civilian airliner design into the Fw 200 Condor and attacked from the skies. By the summer of 1941, Condor attacks had been so successful that Winston Churchill called them "the scourge of the Atlantic." This book discusses the development of the Condor, and analyzes the various Allied responses, from arming civilian vessels and providing Royal Navy escorts, to the Grumman Martlets and Sea Hurricanes launched from catapults on modified merchant ships or from specially designed carriers to meet this aerial threat. Illustrated with black & white photos and color plates. Brand new, unused condition.
